Roof Replacement
Roofs only last for so long, so when your roof needs replacement, hire an Alpharetta roofing company that will provide quality workmanship.
Alpharetta Roof Replacement
The life of a roof depends on exposure to weather, roof shape, design and materials used:
- If there are no trees around providing some shade for the roof, sunlight and heat will age the roof faster.
- The pitch of the roof, color and direction its facing can change how it ages too. For example, moss and mildew may grow easier if it is low sloped, shaded and facing north.
- Roofing materials matter. For example, slate roofing typically lasts longer than asphalt shingles.
Weather can shorten the life of a roof. Lighting, hail, bad storms and strong winds. Trees may cause damage from limbs breaking or scraping the surface. Strong winds can cause your roof to have missing or torn shingles even if the roof is in good shape otherwise. Any objects, trees or hail can damage flashing or gutters. Forgetting the possibility of storms, normal changes in seasonal weather from summer heat to cold winter cause the contraction and expansion of the roof. That plus normal aging over time breaks down the roof.

Typically roofs last 15-25 years. Basic composition shingles and wood shakes are usually 15-20 years, but thicker shingles may last longer. Slate and other roofing materials vary as well. Depending on the design of your roof, we can discuss what would be the best option for your home when considering the roof replacement.
Aesthetically pleasing architecture may look nice, but it also creates more peaks, valleys and styles that may not hold up as well in bad weather. Roofs may have more of a chance for leaks from flashing deterioration or damage from common features such as skylights, solar panels, chimneys and more.
